Hi Possi: I knew you would over do because that is what we do. I think walking outside is much harder because the ground is so much harder. I am so sorry you are paying for your activity outside. Are you elevating your legs a lot and wearing compre

What about regular macaroons ? They are non-starchy, as long as you use starch-free icing sugar if you can find it, or make your own. I'm planning on trying to make a batch soon as they're lovely !!!

Wow Gilth! It sounds like a Doctor that has a true objective to get to the real answers. I'm sorry that is what he is looking for but the fact that he didn't blow you off is encouraging. Good luck....
